tiain in c camps in this country wars
using W ar Bread, so I thought I would
drop you a few lines to let you give
him the proper inform ation and for
those who do not know that we have
been using nothing but war bread hers
at Camp Lewis now fo r the past three
months and during all that time we
have only had white flour bread about
once each month. And I w ill also say
that the war bread we use is not as
good as what the people at home have
as w e have one bakery here at camp
that supplies all the bread fo r the
camp and we all get the same kind o f
bread. And another thing that the
boys com ing into the camp do not
get that the folks have at home is
butter. W e were here fo r over a
month before we got batter and it Is
the same way with all the new boys
com ing to this camp. W e were in a
bettor shape than m ost o f them as
we were organised when we came and
had our cooks and a mess fund while
the draft men have to organize and
pick their cooks and if their cooks are
not saving they m ight not get a mess
fund fo r over a month and you have
to have a mess fund to be able to have
butter three times a day as the gov
ernment only allows so much butter
a day and it ju st about enough fo r one
meal.
And as they buy butter in
such large quantities we do not always
have the best butter that is made and
sometimes we imagine they are mak
ing a mistake and give us cheese in
stead o f butter. And while it would
make n o difference if we did not like
it, we have no recourse but to use
what th ejrgive us. But I have never
heard any o f the b oy i make any kick
on the food we are getting and have
never heard a kick on the bread as
we realise the boys overs there need
it worse than we do and as we expect
to be there ourselves some day we
are trying to make the best o f every
thing as we know wo w ill have to give
up a lot we are getting now when we
get across. We are also using what
we call O. D. sugar which, if you could
see it, would remind you o f sand
mixed with molasses but there has
been no kicks on that either and as a
whole we are well fed here and have
no kicks to make whatever, unless a
person is ju st a natural kicker.
But I wanted the people to know
there in Coos that we are having to
give up as much o f the luxuries as
they sire. We had our meatless and
wheatless days when you all did. I
know that it is only a few who are not
proud o f our home town the way they
have been ahead in all the drives that
go to help us to win this war, and I do
not know o f a more patriotic town
than Coquill* anywhere and we are
proud to be from there.

Ana then hikes are not
easy by any means, as after walking
all day and after having an hour's
rest they cell us out to do picket duty
and night skirmishes until twelve
o'clock and then just aa we are getting
to sleep on the hard ground they blow
the bugle call at one o’clock with the
call to arms telling us th e enemy to
coming, and we have to break' camp
and pull up our tent* to move on fa r
ther back and away and we hike for
another two hours and get our tents
pitched about flv* o’clock and to bed,
only to get up agsin et the regular «
o clock rsveils. So you can aaa we
are not playing or having a vary good
time during our work days, but you
|aever hear the boys kicking.

when calls come at night you would

enjoying a ball game instead o f get-
ting reedy to move on. The last twe
weeks we have been called out at two
o’clock in the morning to start from
our barracks on these hikes and have
hiked until daylight before pitching
tents to camp. W * average about two
days or three each week in these hikes
and wartime maneuvers. So you can
see we are getting a taste o f what we
will have over there aa when w e start
at tw o o’clock we do not go to bed
when we get to camp but keep right
on with our day’s work the same aa if
we had a night’s sleep.
W ell, I guess, we w ill be out of
here on our way over soon as we are
really preparing to move this tim e as
we are busy packing up our equip
ment in heavier crates than wa have
had and are getting everything reedy
and while we don’t know when it will
be that we leave, I guess, it w ill be
within the next three or fou r weeks
We hope it will be ss soon as possi
ble fo r we ere anxious to g et over
there end it is the same all over camp.
But the boys are all m ors satisfied be
cause this time we know w* are going,
as this is the first tim e we have ever
got started to pecking our'equipm ent
and they are ruining us through a lot
o f the work we have never had. We
have been drilling hard with the gas
will try the gas house this week some-
time to go through actual gas Ilka
they are using over there.
W ell, I will d ose hoping this in f or-
tas ti on will help you to let those who
do not know that the boys in the
camps are making aa many sacrifices
along the food question as those at
home and are doing it cheerfu lly and
are not even ns well off as they are
because we cannot get anything alas
and have to make the beat o f it. But
we know the only way to win the war
is to make tha beat o f everything as
it comes and while it may be hard on
ns we have to remember the boys ov-
er there who are in the trenches for
24 hours sometimes without food . And
the only way to win is fo r os all to get
together and tha folks at home have
to back us up or wa could never win
and we are all proud o f our homo poo-
ple and tha state o f Oregon fo r the
w ay she is backing up the boys and I
don’t want you to think that 1 am
trying to criticise anyone fo r I knew
that there are very few people in Coos
who are net doing all they can. And
I knew that in Coquille there are very
few , if any, aa I hear from there
about all thair drives and how read*
they are to help, but I thought it
m ight help you to enlighten some who
do not know o f the conditions in cam p.
H oping fo r yon the best o f luck and
tkat this finds you w ell. P erry sends

friends our regards, I remain, your
